Excerpt
December
- Thin light of the solstice, diluted
- and clear, falling away
- inside itself. Like falling onto a bed:
- you know you won't be hurt.
- A drawn line through white space.
- Or leafing through next year's calendar,
- unsticking the pages. Grief
- stuck to relief or beside it.
- And inside the light, making it
- visible, the sparrows
- moving between the feeders.
— Ann Keniston
